Why you should always listen to your mum

You were right mum.
I did forget something.

This time it was the toothbrush.
At least i remembered the cellphone charger, socks, and spectacles.
You think it's improvement?

Experimentation

Read this sentence:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Count them
ONLY ONCE; do not go back and count them again.





okay?
click the comment link on the bottom and leave a note telling me how many F's you counted.

Ack!

I think I'm doing better this time round.

At least I don't feel like I'm walking around waiting to mess up.
More importantly I've got a better gripe on living on my own. :)
(Yes, I know..all new students moving out for the first time ..etcetc.)

I dunno, I have this inability to appreciate the fact that you just need time, most of the time. (wahahaha..yesla, my sense of humour is around nil these days)

I've been learning to relax and tell myself it's okay to be normal.
It's okay to complain about crappy schedules and boring lectures and to say stuff like "die-la, die-la..i haven't started doing my (insert assignment here)".
I don't have to beat myself up over the slightest mistake. I don't have to microscopically look at my day.

Does this sound like I'm making excuses for myself?
I don't know.
But I'm a lot happier and focused.
Hey-I might even start believing that people actually enjoy my company at times.
(But let's not get too far ahead now..)

I've also been jogging consistently. Twice a week, a minimum of 30 minutes each time.
Am really out of shape-I have to take so many breaks in that half-hour span!
Next month-inline skating!! :D
The morning quiet time routine has (finally) stuck. *cheers*

I've also settled into a very pleasant domestic situation..
Grocery shopping, late night suppers, home-cooked dinners, friendly housemates, limitless Wi-fi, interesting events, a church and chinese soap-operas. *grins*
I have nothing really to complain about. God has been abundantly provident!!

(However, I do really need a bunch of people to study with. People to bounce ideas off and to question my answers. Or even just one person would be good)

Mental break

You scored as Disappear. Your death will be by disappearing, probably a camping trip gone wrong or an evening hike you never returned from. Always remeber that one guy who was hiking alone and got in a rock slide. He could have died, but he cut his own hand off to save himself. Don't end up like him (or worse, dead).

Pseudonerd

Between classes today I found meself a quiet cubby in the library
and read myself silly with Anne Foster and Slyvia Plath.

I don't really enjoy poetry. Too many hidden meanings, too much to decipher.
I wonder if there's a poetry appreciation class in college.

Am also reading 'The Memory Keeper's Daughter' by Kim Edwards.
2 new books for birthday presents, one on understanding dreams and another on dating.
Very random selections. But me is happy! Surrounded by new new books :D

And yes..I am now legal-in any part of the world. :D

Update

Heh..I have a lovely schedule this semester-only 3/4 days of classes in a week :D
Am living in a house with 8 other females!
So far there's been loud laughter and normal housemate stuff like 'paying a visit to another room'.
It seems to be turning out well..we'll see, we'll see.

Other than this boring domestic update-I'm falling apart. Or rather I'm scratching myself apart.
The doctor says it's bedbugs. I say not, because:
A)New mattress
B)Clean sheets
C)Clean person

But regardless, it was bugspray all over the bed frame and the mattress taken out to sun.
Die you stupid bugs.
I look like I'm coming down with some kinda disease and resemble a certain primate when the Zambuk wears off.
That and a small suspicious-looking painful lump on my left arm.

A week into..

Hello 2007.
We're going to make this work.
: )
You,me and the big Daddy upstairs.
